In the triangle shown, n is a positive integer, and angle A >angle B >angle C. How many possible values of n are there? I'm having trouble with this problem. I used the triangle inequality and got n>-7, n>3, and n>3/2. But I know this isn't the answer can someone help me?

First, you know that the sides opposite the angle are proportional to the size of the angle, in other words if angles A>B>C then it will also be true that sides: (3N+4)>(3N+1)>(4N-9) We can also conclude that (3N+4) > (4N-9) Solving we should find that N must be less than 10, since it is integers and positive N can be be a value of 1 to 9.

I may have misunderstood the question, but I think that is right.

If mA > mB > mC, then the same is true of the corresponding side lengths. In other words, 3n+4 > 4n-9 >3n+1 See whether you can solve for inequalities that describe possible values for n.
